According to one aspect disclosed herein, a method for classifying telecommunications events can include receiving a data set that includes geo-location data and radio signal measurement data for a plurality of telecommunications events that have occurred within a mobile telecommunications network. The method can also include providing the data set as input to a classification model. The method can also include classifying the data set into an indoor results subset and an outdoor results subset using the classification model.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The concepts and technologies disclosed herein generally relate to mobile telecommunications. More specifically, the concepts and technologies disclosed herein relate to the classification of indoor and outdoor telecommunications events that occur within mobile telecommunications networks.

BACKGROUND

A mobile telecommunications carrier may allocate a significant portion of their annual budget to network planning, troubleshooting, and otherwise improving their network coverage in order to meet the needs of their customers. As a mobile telecommunications carrier expands their network to encompass rural, urban, and other land areas, the ability to determine whether a telecommunications event, such as a voice call or data session, occurred within a building or other indoor area or outdoors becomes increasingly difficult. Mobile telecommunications carriers may utilize predicted service demand, historic traffic usage, and/or demographics for planning network upgrades for areas in which they currently provide mobile telecommunications services, and for planning network expansion into areas in which they intend to provide mobile telecommunications services. These planning metrics, however, are not beneficial for determining the environment in which a telecommunications event occurred.

The method can also include providing the data set as input to a classification model. The method can also include classifying the data set into an indoor results subset and an outdoor results subset using the classification model.

In the following detailed description, references are made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration specific embodiments or examples. Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals represent like elements throughout the several figures, example aspects of the classification of indoor and outdoor telecommunications events that occur within mobile telecommunications networks will be presented.

Referring now to FIG. 1, aspects of an illustrative operating environment 100 for various concepts disclosed herein will be described. It should be understood that the operating environment 100 and the various components thereof have been greatly simplified for purposes of discussion. Accordingly, additional or alternative components of the operating environment 100 can be made available without departing from the embodiments described herein.

The operating environment 100 shown in FIG. 1 includes a mobile telecommunications network 102. The illustrated mobile telecommunications network 102 is configured to serve one or more indoor mobile devices 104 (hereinafter referred to collectively or generically as “indoor mobile devices 104”) operating within one or more indoor locations 106 (hereinafter referred to collectively or generically as “indoor locations 106”). The illustrated mobile telecommunications network 102 is also configured to serve one or more outdoor mobile devices 108 (hereinafter referred to collectively or generically as “outdoor mobile devices 108”) operating within one or more outdoor locations 110 (hereinafter referred to collectively or generically as “outdoor locations 110”). It should be understood that the indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108 are described as being “indoor” and “outdoor,” respectively, merely for ease of explanation, and therefore should not be interpreted as limiting the environment(s) in which the indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108 are capable of operating. For example, the indoor mobile devices 104 may, at times, communicate with the mobile telecommunications network 102 from one of the outdoor locations 110 or in another location that may be classified as an indoor or outdoor environment. Similarly, the outdoor mobile devices 108 may, at times, communicate with the mobile telecommunications network 102 from one of the indoor locations 106 or in another location that may be classified as an indoor or outdoor environment.

The indoor locations 106 can include environments that are at least partially enclosed by one or more barriers to radio frequency signals. A barrier to radio frequency signals may be man-made or natural. Some examples of environments that are at least partially enclosed by a man-made barrier to radio frequency signals are buildings, single family homes, duplexes, triplexes, apartments, condominiums, stadiums, coliseums, theaters, or any combination thereof. Man-made barriers may be temporary in nature, such as tents, port-a-potties, stages, and the like. Some examples of natural barriers to radio frequency signals include environments that are dense with vegetation, such as trees, bushes, grasses, flowers, and other plants. Other examples of the indoor locations 106 include environments such as alleyways, subway tunnels, sewers, and the like. The indoor locations 106 can additionally or alternatively include the interiors of vehicles. The outdoor locations 106 can include environments that are not at least partially enclosed by one or more barriers to radio frequency signals.

The mobile telecommunications network 102 can include one or more radio access networks (“RANs”). The mobile telecommunications network 102 can also include a wireless wide area network (“WWAN”), which may, in turn, include a circuit-switched core network (“CS CN”), a packet-switched core network (“PS CN”), and/or an IP multimedia subsystem (“IMS”) core network. The WWAN can utilize one or more mobile telecommunications technology standards to provide voice and/or data services via one or more RANs to one or more WWAN components of the indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108. The mobile telecommunications technology standards may include, but are not limited to, Global System for Mobile communications (“GSM”), Code Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) ONE, CDMA2000, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (“UMTS”), Long-Term Evolution (“LTE”), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (“WiMAX”), and/or the like.

A RAN can utilize various channel access methods (which may or may not be used by the aforementioned standards) including, but not limited to, Time Division Multiple Access (“TDMA”), Frequency Division Multiple Access (“FDMA”), CDMA, wideband CDMA (“W-CDMA”), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (“OFDM”), Space Division Multiple Access (“SDMA”), and/or the like to provide a radio/air interface to the indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108. A RAN may be a GSM RAN (“GRAN”), a GSM EDGE RAN (“GERAN”), a UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (“UTRAN”), an E-UTRAN, any combination thereof, and/or the like. The indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108 can communicate with one or more RANs that utilize the same or different radio access technologies. As such, in some embodiments, the indoor mobile devices 104 and/or the outdoor mobile devices 108 are multi-mode communications devices.

Data communications can be provided by the mobile telecommunications network 102 using General Packet Radio Service (“GPRS”), Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (“EDGE”), the High-Speed Packet Access (“HSPA”) protocol family including High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (“HSDPA”), Enhanced Uplink (“EUL”) or otherwise termed High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (“HSUPA”), Evolved HSPA (“HSPA+”), LTE, and/or various other current and future wireless data access standards. The mobile telecommunications network 102 may be configured to provide voice and/or data communications with any combination of the above technologies. The mobile telecommunications network 102 may be configured to or adapted to provide voice and/or data communications in accordance with future generation technologies.

Each of the indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108 may be a cellular telephone, a smartphone, a mobile computer, a tablet computer, or other computing device that is configured to communicate with the mobile telecommunications network 102 via a radio/air interface. As such, each of the indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108 can include one or more radio access components configured to connect to the mobile telecommunications network 102. The indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108 may initiate, receive, and/or maintain voice calls with one or more other voice-enabled telecommunications devices such as other mobile devices or landline devices (not shown). The indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108 may also exchange Short Message Service (“SMS”) messages, Multimedia Message Service (“MMS”) messages, email, and/or other messages with other devices (not shown). The indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108 may also establish data sessions with the mobile telecommunications network 102 to access the Internet (not shown) or another data network (also not shown) for content such as Websites, streaming media, online video games, downloadable content, and the like.

Voice calls, messaging service messages, and data sessions are collectively referred to herein as “telecommunications events.” In the illustrated example, the mobile telecommunications network 102 is configured to facilitate one or more indoor telecommunications events 112 (hereinafter referred to collectively or generically as “indoor events 112”) originating from or terminating at the indoor mobile devices 104. Also in the illustrated example, the mobile telecommunications network 102 is configured to facilitate one or more outdoor telecommunications events 114 (hereinafter referred to collectively or generically as “outdoor events 114”) originating from or terminating at the outdoor mobile devices 108.

The indoor events 112 and the outdoor events 114 can be associated with information such as radio signal measurement data, geo-location data, and other event-related data. The radio signal measurement data can be representative of the radio conditions experienced by the indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108 during the indoor events 112 and the outdoor events 114, respectively. In some embodiments, the radio signal measurement data can include, but is not limited to, received signal strength indicator (“RSSI”), received signal code power (“RSCP”), energy per user equipment (“E_(C)”), total noise power density (“N₀”), equivalent measurements, similar measurements, or any combination thereof.

RSSI is a generic radio receiver technology metric. RSSI provides a measurement of the power present in a received radio signal. Generally, the power is measured in dBm (milliwatt on a logarithmic scale) unit, and the value ranges from −105 dBm to −15 dBm. The value of RSSI depends upon the terrain, clutters, customer density, and neighbor cell towers of an area served by the mobile telecommunications network 102.

RSCP is the power measured by a receiver on a specific physical communication channel according to UMTS. Other similar measurements for received power may be utilized, such as reference signal received power (“RSRP”) for embodiments in which the mobile telecommunications network 102 operates in accordance with LTE standards. Generally, RSCP is measured by a user equipment, such as one of the indoor mobile devices 104 or one of the outdoor mobile devices 108, and reported to a cell tower, such as a NodeB, eNodeB, or the like operating within the 4 mobile telecommunications network 102. Like RSSI, the measurement unit for RSCP and RSRP is dBm, and the value ranges from −105 dBm to −15 dBm. RSCP and RSRP are used as indications of signal strength in decision making processors, such as handover.

E_(C)/N₀ (“E_(C)N₀”) or RSCP/RSSI can provide insight into the signal quality of the signal received per user equipment. The higher the value of E_(C)N₀, the more distinguished a signal is from overall noise. E_(C)N_(0C) an be expressed in dB. The range of E_(C)N₀ is generally from −25 dB to −9 dB.

In the logarithmic scale, RSSI is equal to RSCP−E_(C)N₀. The transition of the aforementioned measurements throughout a telecommunications event can be measured by the indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108, and more particularly, one or more applications being executed by one or more processors thereof. In some implementations, RSSI, RSCP, and E_(C)N₀ are measured at three timestamps: ACCESS_RSSI, START_RSSI, and END_RSSI. ACCESS_RSSI is the RSSI measured before the initiation of system access procedures. START_RSSI is the RSSI measured immediately after the establishment of the radio link. END_RSSI is the RSSI measured immediately prior to release of the radio link. Similarly, ACCESS_RSCP, ACCESS_E_(C)N₀, START_RSCP, START_E_(C)N₀, END_RSCP, and END_E_(C)N₀ can be measured.

The indoor events 112 and the outdoor events 114 can also be associated with features. As used herein, a “feature” can include a part of a telecommunications event that distinguishes, at least in part, the telecommunications event from another telecommunications event. It is contemplated that some telecommunications events may have similar or the same features.

Features are described herein as being to one of two feature types—primary features or secondary features. Primary features are features that can be acquired directly by a mobile device, such as one of the indoor mobile devices 104 or one of the outdoor mobile devices 108. Secondary features are features that can be derived from one or more primary features. In some embodiments, a mobile device acquires or calculates one or more features through one or more applications being executed on the mobile device by one or more processors of the mobile device.

Primary features can include, but are not limited to, a start location, an end location, a start cell location, an end cell location, and an event duration. Secondary features can include, but are not limited to, a handover, a moved distance, a speed, a start location to start cell location distance, an end location to end cell location distance, an average of these distances, and a moving status. The aforementioned primary and secondary features are now described in greater detail.

The start location can include latitude and longitude of a mobile device when a telecommunication event is started. In some implementations, the start location is represented as Start_Lat, Start_Long, wherein Start_Lat represents the latitude at which an associated mobile device is located when a telecommunication event is started, and wherein Start_Long represents the longitude at which the mobile device is located when the telecommunications event is started.

The end location can include latitude and longitude of a mobile device when a telecommunication event is ended. In some implementations, the end location is represented as End_Lat, End_Long, wherein End_Lat represents the latitude at which an associated mobile device is located when a telecommunication event is ended, and wherein End_Long represents the longitude at which the mobile device is located when the telecommunications event is ended.

The start cell location can include a global identifier (“ID”) of the cell tower (i.e., base transceiver station, nodeB, eNodeB, or the like) that serves a mobile device when a telecommunications event is started. In some implementations, the start cell location is represented as Start_CID, wherein CID is the cell ID of the cell tower serving the mobile device when the telecommunications event is started.

The end cell location can include a global ID of the cell tower (i.e., base transceiver station, nodeB, eNodeB, or the like) that serves a mobile device when a telecommunications event is ended. In some implementations, the end cell location is represented as End_CID, wherein CID is the cell ID of the cell tower serving the mobile device when the telecommunications event is ended.

The event duration can include a total duration of the telecommunications event. For example, if the telecommunications event is a voice call, the event duration can include a total duration of the voice call including ringing time and talk time. Alternatively, for example, if the telecommunications event is a data session, the event duration can include the total duration of the data session. Telecommunications events that include messaging service messages may or may not have an event duration feature associated therewith. In some voice call implementations, the event duration is represented as Call_Duration.

The handover can include a value, wherein a “0” represents a condition under which the start cell location equals the end cell location, and wherein a “1” represents cases otherwise. In some implementations, the handover is represented as Handover.

The moved distance can include the distance between the start location and the end location. In some implementations, the moved distance is represented as the distance between (Start_Lat, Start_Long) and (End_Lat, End_Long), or Moved_Distance=|(Start_Lat, Start_Long)−(End_Lat, End_Long|.

The speed can include a speed at which a mobile device is moving. The speed can be the moved distance divided by the call duration. In some implementations, the speed is represented as Speed=Moved_Distance÷Call_Duration.

The start location to the start cell location distance can be represented as the U2S_Distance. In some implementations, U2S_Distance=|(Start_Lat, Start_Long)−Start_CID|.

The end location to end cell location distance can be represented as the U2E_Distance. In some implementations, U2E_Distance=|(End_Lat, End_Long)−End_CID|.

The average of the U2S_Distance and the U2E_Distance can be represented as the U2C_Distance. In some implementations, this average is the average of the U2S_Distance and the U2E_Distance, or U2C_Distance=(U2S_Distance+U2E_Distance)÷2.

The moving status can include “stationary” if the speed (Speed) is equal to “0”. The moving status can include “on foot” if the speed (Speed) is greater than “0” and less than or equal to 10 miles per hour or some other value representative of a maximum “on foot” speed. The moving status can include “in vehicle” if the speed (Speed) is greater than 10 miles per hour or some other value.

In addition to radio signal measurements and features, the indoor events 112 and the outdoor events 114 can be associated with one or more flags. As used herein, a “flag” can indicate a problem, including, but not limited to, a problem with coverage provided by the mobile telecommunications network 102, a problem with a certain element of the mobile telecommunications network 102 such as a base station, a power source failure problem, an issue with a mobile device such as one of the indoor mobile devices 104 or one of the outdoor mobile devices 108, a telecommunications event establishment problem, or a telecommunications event failure. As also used herein, a “flag” can indicate a success, including, but not limited to, a successful establishment of a telecommunications event or a successful ending of a telecommunications event. Some illustrative flags include, but are not limited to, Establish_Failed, Dropped, Connected, and Ended_Normal.

Establish_Failed can be represented by a “true” value or a “false” value in which a “true” value indicates the failure of a telecommunications event to establish correctly. For example, a voice call terminating at one of the indoor mobile devices 104 may not establish due to poor coverage within one of the indoor locations 106. Accordingly, the indoor event associated with this telecommunications event can include an Establish_Failed flag with a value of “true.”

Dropped can be represented by a “true” value or a “false” value in which a “true” value indicates the drop or other failure of a telecommunications event after the telecommunications event has been successfully established. For example, a voice call may drop during handover between two cell towers. Accordingly, the voice call may be associated with a Dropped flag value of “true” to indicate a call drop occurred.

Connected can be represented by a “true” value or a “false” value in which a “true” value indicates the successful connection of a telecommunications event. For example, a voice call that connected successfully can be flagged with a Connected flag value of “true” to indicate successful connection.

Ended_Normal can be represented by a “true” value or a “false” value in which a “true” value indicates the successful ending of a telecommunications event. For example, a voice call that ends normally can be flagged with an Ended_Normal flag value of “true” to indicate a successful ending of the voice call.

It should be understood that Dropped and Ended_Normal are not just inverse of each other. If Dropped is equal to “true”, Ended_Normal is “false.” However, Ended_Normal can also be “false” for other reasons such as, but not limited to, coverage problem, power source failure problem, device issues, and the like. Similarly, Establish_Failed and Connected are not inverses of each other.

At least a portion of the available radio signal measurement data, the feature(s), and/or the flags for a given telecommunications event can be stored as part of an event record in an event record database 116. The event record database 116 can store event data records associated with the indoor events 112 and the outdoor events 114. In some embodiments, an event data record is or includes a charging data record. A charging data record can include information such as, but not limited to, calling party number, called party number, date and time of call initiation, date and time of call termination, duration of event, number charged for event, identifier of the network component that generated the record, identifier of the record, result of the event (e.g., answered, busy, dropped, and the like), event type (e.g., voice call, messaging, data), any faults that occurred during the event, radio signal measurements, features, flags, or any combination thereof.

The event record database 116 can provide event information 118, including radio signal measurement data, features, and flags, associated with the indoor events 112 and the outdoor events 114 to a telecommunications event classification system 120 (“TECS” in the drawings). The telecommunications event classification system 120 receives the event information 118 without knowledge of the origin of the events 116 in terms of the location(s) of the indoor mobile devices 104 and the outdoor mobile devices 108 during the indoor events 112 and the outdoor events 114, respectively. Accordingly, from the perspective of the telecommunications event classification system 120, the event information 118 associated with the indoor events 112 and the outdoor events 114 is received as input including information regarding telecommunications events, without the distinction of these events having occurred indoors or outdoors from the perspective of a human observer.

The indoor locations 106 are intended to illustrate real-world locations that are partially enclosed by one or more barriers to radio frequency signals. The outdoor locations 110 are intended to illustrate real-world locations that are not enclosed by one or more barriers to radio frequency signals. An opinion of a human observer that a particular location is observable and understandable to be “indoor” or “outdoor” is irrelevant to the characteristics of the radio environment that are shaped by the presence, or lack thereof, of one or more barriers to radio frequency signals. In other words, one of the indoor locations 110, for example, could be a location that is observable and understandable by a human observer to be outdoors in a forest, but the one or more barriers to radio frequency signals caused by vegetation within the forest are indicative of an indoor location in terms of the radio environment shaped at least in part by the vegetation.

The telecommunications event classification system 120 utilizes a classification model 122 to determine whether the telecommunications events associated with the event information 118 occurred indoors or outdoors, such as in one or more of the indoor locations 106 and/or one or more of the outdoor locations 110. The telecommunications event classification system 120 can output indoor results 124 that are representative of a subset of the telecommunications events associated with the event information 118 that are determined by the classification model 120 to have occurred in the indoor locations 106. The telecommunications event classification system 120 can also output outdoor results 126 that are representative of a subset of the telecommunications events associated with the event information 118 that are determined by the classification model 120 to have occurred in the outdoor locations 110.

For example, information such as the geographic location of a mobile device during a voice call, the radio signal measurements associated with the voice call, one or more features of the voice call, and/or one or more flags of the voice call can be provided to the telecommunications event classification system 120 without an indication that the voice call positively occurred in an indoor location, such as one of the indoor locations 106, or an outdoor location, such as one of the outdoor locations 110. The telecommunications event classification system 120 can provide this information to the classification model 122 as input to predict if the voice call occurred in an indoor location or an outdoor location. The indoor results 124 or the outdoor results 126 can reflect the classification (i.e., prediction) of the voice call as having occurred in an indoor location or an outdoor location, respectively.

The telecommunications event classification system 120 can present the indoor results 124 and/or the outdoor results 126 on one or more displays that are in wired or wireless communication with the telecommunications event classification system 120. A display can be an output device configured to present information in a visual form. In some embodiments, a display is a liquid crystal display (“LCD”) utilizing any active or passive matrix technology and any backlighting technology (if used). In some embodiments, a display is an organic light emitting diode (“OLED”) display. Other display types, such as plasma, cathode ray tube (“CRT”), and future display technologies, are also contemplated. In some embodiments, a display includes a touchscreen configured to detect the presence and location of a touch, and thereby provide an input mechanism through the display. The telecommunications event classification system 120 can also support other input mechanisms such as keyboards and mice.

The telecommunications event classification system 120 can present the indoor results 124 and/or the outdoor results 126 to a remote computing system (not shown). In some embodiments, the remote computing system is accessible via the Internet and/or other data network to remotely view and interact with the indoor results 124 and/or the outdoor results 126.

In some embodiments, the indoor results 124 and/or the outdoor results 126 are presented in a spreadsheet, wherein telecommunications events are identified as being either indoor or outdoor telecommunications events. The spreadsheet can additionally include at least a portion of the event information 118 that is associated with one or more of the indoor results 124 and/or one or more of the outdoor results 126.

In some embodiments, the indoor results 124 and/or the outdoor results 126 are presented in a map, wherein the indoor results 124 are represented on the map in one manner and the outdoor results 126 are represented on the map in another manner. The manner in which the indoor results 124 and the outdoor results 126 are represented on the map can take any number of visual forms, including, but not limited to, shapes, icons, pictures, graphics, call-outs, pop-ups, or combinations thereof. These visual forms can be in any color, shape, size, and orientation. Moreover, these visual forms can be in two-dimensions or three-dimensions.

Map data can be obtained from a geographic information system (“GIS”) map database 128. The GIS map database 128 is configured to store maps, such as ortho-photo maps and latitude/longitude coordinates mapped to street addresses or other locations. It should be understood that map data can be obtained from other sources.

The classification model 120 can be generated by the telecommunications event classification system 120 or another computer system using one or more data sets. The classification model 120, in some embodiments, is based upon logistic regression. In some other embodiments, the classification model 120 is based upon a neural network. Moreover, in some embodiments, the classification model 120 is optimized by using techniques, such as, but not limited to, Newton Raphson Ridging, Quasi Newton, and Conjugate Gradient.

The event information 118 can be provided to the classification model 122 by the telecommunications event classification system 120 in a set of measures (radio signal measurements, features, flags) represented as X={x₁, x₂ . . . x_(n)}. Each event record, c, can be expressed as {x₁ ^(c),x₂ ^(c),x_(n) ^(c)}, where x_(i) ^(c) denotes c's value on the i^(th) member of X. The determination regarding whether c is from an indoor location or an outdoor location can be based upon x_(i) ^(c), where 1≦i≦n. The classification model 122 therefore provides a solution to this binary classification problem.

Turning now to FIG. 2, a flow diagram illustrating aspects of a method 200 for predicting whether a telecommunications event occurred in an indoor location or in an outdoor location will be described, according to an illustrative embodiment. It should be understood that the operations of the illustrative methods disclosed herein are not necessarily presented in any particular order and that performance of some or all of the operations in an alternative order(s) is possible and is contemplated. The operations have been presented in the demonstrated order for ease of description and illustration. Operations may be combined, separated, added, omitted, modified, and/or performed simultaneously or in another order without departing from the scope of the subject disclosure.
